Christopher Holt, 34, of Searcy and his wife, Danna, were arrested on July 6 on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Police found 114 grams of methamphetamine in the Holts' vehicle during a traffic stop on Interstate 40.

CLARKSVILLE — A Searcy couple was released from jail here after being stopped on Interstate 40 with more than a quarter pound of methamphetamine hidden in a speaker box.

Christopher Holt, 34, and his wife, Danna, were released from the Johnson County Detention Center last week following their arrest July 6 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver after police discovered 114 grams of methamphetamine in the couple's vehicle during a traffic stop near mile marker 57 in Clarksville.

Egan, the Johnson County Sheriff's Department detection dog, helped police locate the methamphetamine, valued between $10,000 and $12,000, in the speaker box and the vehicle's console, according to a release from the department.

Police also found syringes, marijuana and other drug paraphernalia, the release stated, and investigators seized an undisclosed amount of cash during the stop.

During a July 8 hearing, Circuit Judge Gordon "Mack" McCain ordered Christopher Holt, who was driving the vehicle, held in lieu of a $20,000 commercial bond and Danna Holt in lieu of a $3,500 commercial bond. Danna Holt posted the requirements of her bond later that day, and Christopher Holt posted bail four days later. Both are expected to appear in Johnson County Circuit Court on September 6.
